Chapter 48 See You in Court
Robert crossed his arms and sneered. “Ha! She wants the shares? Sure. Tell
her she has to personally ask me for them.”
Matt had worked as a lawyer for years. Among the many thugs and scumbags, he
had encountered, Robert was not the worst he had met.
He raised a hand and pushed up his gold–rimmed spectacles as he blankly replied, “If that is your response, we will see you in court.”
With that said, he turned to walk away. However, soon after he did so, he
turned back around and said to Robert, “Mr. Donovan, a friendly reminder for
you; Miss Donovan has evidence that you have abused her since she was a child. Of course, that includes the surveillance records from four years ago. If we do end up in court, the Donovans will truly be destroyed.”
“Furthermore, car chases and kidnapping attempts are considered assault. If this happens again, she will ensure you will be so breaking that you can’t
even afford meals.”
After politely smiling at Robert, he turned and walked out of the ward.
As soon as Adam was set free, he immediately started picking a fight. “Stay if you have the balls! Darn it! You only pinned me down because I was caught off–guard. Do not let me see you ever again!”
Robert was panicking in the first place, so Adam’s roars infuriated him. He immediately shouted at Adam, “Why are you picking a fight when they’re already gone? If you’re upset, go after them! If you win, you’ll prove yourself as the stronger man. If you can’t win in a fight, shut up!”

No matter how arrogant and brash he was, he could not pick a fight with
Robert who controlled his finances.
All he could do was fawn and flatter over Robert.
After a few minutes, when he saw that Robert was scowling hard, he walked
over. “Don’t worry, Robert. It’s just Claire. I’ll kidnap her.“”
Robert glared at him. “How? If you fail once more, Claire will bankrupt us!”
Alice was not happy to see her brother being scolded. She disdainfully scoffed and said, “She’s just a girl. How strong can she be? Adam has been operating in Silverton for years. He’s no pushover. Do you really think he
can’t take care of her?”
“Shut up!”
Robert yelled at Alice, annoyed. For some reason, Claire felt different this
time.
While she looked like the same meek girl from before, he realized he had not gotten the upper hand at all during their few encounters.
When he recalled what Claire had said, he got out of his seat. “I’ll call for a shareholders meeting. Even if Claire gets these shares, we cannot let her steal Alpha Ventures away from us.”
Once Robert was gone, a sinister glint flashed in Alice’s eyes. “Adam, select the best men around this time. Don’t use those nobodies. I want Claire to
suffer a fate worse than death!”

Adam shot to his feet, thumped his chest, and promised, “Don’t worry, Alice. Leave it to me.”
The conference room of Alpha Ventures.
Robert gazed at the five directors sitting nearby with an unusually warm and kind smile on his lips. “Amos, Charles, time sure flies by. How many years have we known each other?”
Amos and Charles were men nearly in their sixties. The other three directors were not young either. Each had a cup of herbal tea in front of them.
Herbal teas were rather necessary once one got on in age.
Amos was the most cunning man among the directors. He was also the shareholder who held the highest number of shares.
He picked up his glass and gently blew at the steam rising from it. He did not take a sip. Instead, he lowered his gaze to observe the herbs bobbing in the liquid.
“Just say what you mean, Mr. Donovan. We have known each other for years. W do not need to beat around the bush.”
Robert had usually forced all decisions to go his way just because he was the chairman. He had never asked the other directors for their opinions.
However, he now needed their help. He had to put away his pride. With a chuckle, he said, “I believe everyone knows what’s happening with my family. Claire is back and has found a lawyer to force me into giving her the shares
her mother left for her”

Then, he paused as the smile slid off his face to be replaced by a solemn look. “As you know, she owns 26% of all shares. If I give them to her, she could take away my power. Can we really trust an inexperienced girl with Alpha Ventures, a company built up through decades of hard work?”
No one present was a fool. Upon hearing that, they knew that Robert was asking for their support, for the ability to buy their shares when push came
to shove. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Amos scoffed and languidly took a sip of tea. When he finally placed the glass back down, his lips spread in a sly grin. “That’s family business, Mr.
Donovan. It’s nothing we can interfere with.”
“That’s right.”
The other shareholders swiftly followed his lead.
Robert gritted his teeth. These men were all opportunists who only followed the majority. They were likely eager for a great battle to break out between
Claire and him.
With an unhappy frown on his face, he responded, “That’s not quite right, Amos While this is a family matter, it also concerns the company. If Claire is in power and ruins Alpha Ventures, none of you will gain a single cent from dividends!”
“What are you saying, Dad?”
Claire’s voice could be heard echoing through the room as soon as Robert finished

Claire did not show any signs of fear, regardless of how many of the elderly men were staring at her. She strode into the room as her powerful presence
filled the air.
Dressed in a lady’s white casual suit and a pale yellow shirt, she looked so
fair and beautiful that she stood out from the black–suited men behind her.
With sharp eyes and steady steps, she exuded an aura so powerful that she looked completely different from her usual self. Even Robert felt like he
could barely breathe, let alone the other shareholders.
As she walked past Robert, the men behind her immediately brought a chair
over so that she could sit beside Robert.
Claire glanced at the other shareholders and smiled before elegantly sitting
down in her seat.
“Long time no see, Gentlemen.”
The shareholders all glanced at each other before they eventually turned to Amos for guidance.
He was the largest shareholder in the room, apart from Claire and Robert Donovan. They were all relying on him to predict which way the wind would
blow.
“It has been years, Claire. You have grown more beautiful over the years,” he said. As compliments were cheap and easy, Claire nonchalantly smiled and replied, “Thank you for the praise, Mr. Amos.”
